Just feels to me that we're getting a little spoiled as fans and entering that "Nothing is ever good enough" territory. Xavier has been good at FTs so far. Good for them. As I said earlier, we have made more than our opponents have attempted. That is incredibly hard to do, and it's something that was a stated goal by some of our fans. And now that it's been done, we've moved the goalpost. Well, yeah we may be making more than our opponents attempt...BUT...

I personally don't give two you-know-whats about Xavier's free throw percentage. But here are the team free throw percentages in the Mick Cronin era, starting from this season and ending with his first: .689, .686, .705, .670, .708, .647, .644, .668, .638, .657, .665. That's terrible, and it's inexcusable.

I'm just trying hard to enjoy this season as much as possible. Before we know it, it'll be over. And Clark and Washington will be done. It'd be a shame if we end up having the year we all hope for and you go back and read these threads and it's a bunch of griping about everything. I want to enjoy it along the way. That doesn't mean I'm okay with under performing, or just making the tournament, or anything like that. It just feels like every game is our fans just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe as Cincinnati sports fans, we've all just become so conditioned to that. But I have enough confidence in this team that I'll roll with whatever happens (to a point) in the regular season bc I believe in the ceiling of our group. I mean, if we win Sunday, that'll put us at 42-8 over the past 2 seasons. That's pretty incredible. That's less losses in 50 games than we had in 11 of the previous 12 seasons (SK's SR year we lost 7). It's ok to take a look around every once in a while and appreciate where we are. We should be pretty damn proud of this basketball program. |

Free Throw shooting is one of many things we should be looking to Xavier for help with. How about we start with running an offesne where our guards/forwards actually GET to the free throw line? Lets start there...
